Gault&Millau's review 2026

What could be more beautiful and moving than a father-son duo in a restaurant? A tribute to the passing down of tradition at the Raingeard family’s restaurant, where the father, Patrick, left the upper echelons of Riviera haute cuisine (previously at Cap Estel, with three Michelin stars and a Gault&Millau d’Or) to take over a village restaurant with his son Édouard. With the son front of house and the father in the kitchen, this is a true inn—warm and sincere—and, of course, boasting the know-how and expertise to meet all the demands of Provençal cuisine. They’re already close to earning three toques, because Dad isn’t content to just serve up ravioli and pieds paquets: snail tartlet with celery rémoulade, garlic and parsley cream; chicken brandade with confit thigh parmentier; curry-roasted Cians trout; and verbena panna cotta with cider-poached peach. A great three-course menu for €55, a tasting menu for €80, and a well-stocked wine cellar.
